Combi
Single Stroller Review
With a classic umbrella fold and sleek aluminum frame this stroller comes with a very low price tag. It also comes with an adult cup holder as well as a large basket and canopy pockets to store everything you need.
The stroller can flex a lot when pushed, especially over rough surfaces. This could be a problem if are a parent who is on the move and you want to make use of your stroller regularly.
Features
Combi strollers are designed to make caring for children more enjoyable and less stressful. They are light, easy to use, and look attractive. They also have a number of safety features, such as 3-point and 5-point harnesses, reversible handle, large canopy, and a suspension that can be adjusted. Some models have a cupholder for the parent and a large storage basket.
The Cosmo is the Combi's flagship stroller, and it can also accommodate carseats. It didn't fare very well in CR's traditional stroller and car seat compatibility tests however. The other models from CR such as the Flare and the Shuttle have received better reviews online.
One of the most impressive features this stroller comes with is its easy fold, which can be completed in just three steps and does not require bent over. It is easy to move and is able to be used on various terrains. It is also equipped with a large canopy that protects your child from the harsh temperatures and winds.
It is also very durable, as it has a sturdy steel frame. The wheels are constructed of a special material that absorbs shock and bumps from the road. It also has an elevated seat that is 53cm tall, which helps keep your baby off the ground and to avoid contact with allergens and dirt. Additionally the Combi stroller comes with a parent cup holder and a spacious storage basket.
The Cosmo scored well in manoeuvrability and stability tests, however, it was not able to compete in head-tohead competitions with top performers like the Cougar 2. In the test for sideways tipping it performed well with a score of 33 degrees, but it was not close enough to the top scores in this test. This metric is helped by the front-lock swivel wheel as well as suspension. A single step brake pedal locks both rear wheels, which is beneficial for tight spaces and improving the maneuverability. Available in a variety of colors, you can buy it at most department stores and chain baby stores and independent shops.
Design
The initial appearance of this stroller is good and its unique fold is intriguing but that's where the good points end. In tests, it didn't perform like its competitors and offered very little in return. It is only able to hold one car seat, so it's not the best option for twins. Its padding leaves much to be desired for a truly comfortable ride over the course of time. It is heavy and clumsy to maneuver, and although it has storage, it's a bit tinny and difficult to access.
The frame of the Combi Twin Cosmo has many parts and connections which makes it appear less costly than its competitors, who have frames with smaller pieces that are welded instead of riveted. The backs of the seat do not lie flat against the frame when it's collapsed. It has a decent weight capacity and it is a little easier to load into the trunk than its competitors but the bulk might cause issues with public transportation as it's likely not to be able to conform to any 2'X4' regulations that are in place.
The Combi Twin Cosmo scored well in our maneuverability tests despite its size and weight. It took 25 pounds of weight hanging from the handle bar before it tipped over backwards which is better than most of the competition but not as impressive as the best performer in this test, the Chariot Cougar 2.
It has excellent front wheel suspension, and its large rear wheels lockable to increase maneuverability. The brake pedal with a
Single Pushchair sale step locks and unlocks both rear wheels at the same time which is nice for parking and tight spaces. A parent cup holder as well as a large basket and canopy pocket provide storage space but this is minimal when compared to other products.
The canopy has a small storage compartment on the back, but it's too low to hold larger items such as diaper bags or groceries. Two cup holders are provided however they're too close together to be useful when sharing drinks. The canopy offers adequate sun protection, with a three-panel sunshade blocking over 99 percent UV Rays.
Comfort
A major feature of strollers is the ability to place children in a comfortable position. This stroller comes with an adjustable seat that reclines and a large canopy that extends to the back. The canopy also features a parent cup holder, and additional storage. The stroller also comes with a telescoping handlebar to facilitate maneuvering and can be parked easily in narrow spaces.
The stroller scored well in our quality metric, however, it was not a standout in any other categories. It had the highest flex in its frame when it was pushed, and its connecting points are made of plastic instead of soft materials like other strollers. The wheels were very flexible and might be difficult to use on uneven surfaces.
It has good maneuverability however this is offset by its weight and size. It required more effort to push and this can be a challenge for parents with smaller children to manage on a regular basis. It is easy to maneuver through narrow aisles and doors, however, it might be difficult to fit in an elevator with a lot of people.
The under seat storage is quite small and this was a disappointment for testers. The storage area was difficult to access and there's a bar that stops larger items from fitting. A diaper bag with two kids' items was not able to fit and the standard size purse may be a challenge with this storage space. The extra pockets on the canopy are a nice touch however they don't fill the gap left by this inadequate storage space under the seat.
The stroller's unique fold and carry strap makes it a fantastic option for transporting it to and from public transport. However, the weighty stroller could make it difficult to fit into the crowded trains and buses without causing injury to innocent bystanders. This stroller is ideally suited for commuters, who can easily transport it inside their car. It's light enough to be carried up stairs and down escalators, but it would have to be folded down to carry the bus or train.
Safety
The Combi Fold N Go Stroller is compact and
lightweight single stroller, with convenient features. It has a reclining chair with plush harness pads for your baby's comfort and safety as well as a large canopy to block the sun, and a large storage space. Its dual front wheel suspension as well as locking front swivel wheels ensure a smooth and comfortable ride while allowing air to flow freely into and out of the seating space. A cup holder for the parent and a large basket give you extra storage for essentials and the stroller's handrail can be adjusted in height to suit your preferences.
This stroller earned a high score in our tests of ease of use. The CR testers were impressed that the stroller folds down in just three steps, without bending over, it is lightweight and narrow enough to slide through doorways and comes with a simple locking brake system. The leg openings of the stroller are also narrow to stop children from falling through, and it is easy to control. These are all crucial factors when it comes to the stroller, but it's also crucial that a child can be securely secured in the car seat. It is recommended to choose a stroller which can be folded and unfolded quickly while parked and secured with a car seat.
Always remember to fasten the child's safety harness and close the gap between the back of the seat and the grab bar once the stroller is in its reclined position. This will prevent your child from climbing up and becoming a strangulation risk or fall hazard. Keep bags for diapers and purses away the stroller handles to prevent the possibility of entanglement. This will also lower the possibility that the bag could tip over. Registering your stroller with the manufacturer allows you to be informed in the event that there are any recalls.

single stroller is a great option for parents who intend to travel or run errands frequently with their toddler and newborn.
